The result of April 2024 – 434 thousand tons of transshipped grain (corn and wheat) – became the best since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and approached the pre-war levels.

Despite the devastating damage and blockade of the Mykolaiv port, NIBULON demonstrates the recovery of export volumes during 2022-2024 and regains its market share.

This becomes possible thanks to the development of alternative channels through the Danube port and the effective use of the Black Sea ports.

In 9 months of 2023/24 MY, NIBULON exported 2.4 million tons of agricultural products, despite the blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports at the beginning of the marketing year. Expected annual export volumes in 2023/24 MY are 3.2-3.4 million tons. The company’s current share through the Danube ports in the first quarter of 2024 was in the range of 20-30%.

«Наразі робота логістичної інфраструктури «НІБУЛОНу» розподілена між двома каналами, – розповідає Володимир Славінський, директор з торгівлі «НІБУЛОНу». – Після того як завдяки ЗСУ було відновлено роботу портів Чорного моря, значна частина обсягів зернових, які ми експортували через «річку», переорієнтувалася на «велику воду». Водночас Дунай продовжує відігравати ключову роль для нашого експорту – частка цього каналу у структурі продажів складає 70%».  

NIBULON considers such indicators an indisputable victory, as the company works every day to ensure the connection of Ukrainian farmers with international markets and to preserve global food security.

“It was a matter of honor for us to stabilize operations, restore exports and return volumes,” continues Volodymyr Slavinskyi. “In particular, it was important for us to pay tribute to our founder, Oleksiy Vadaturskyy. Thanks to his work, our country is known worldwide as a supplier of high-quality grain and a model for the development of modern internal logistics. We are proud of the results and the fact that we manage to continue the work of this legendary man.”
